Everyone see the news that KUSA has paused orders, officially is doing some “restructuring”, and (allegedly) did a big layoff.
I’m a little concerned as I just picked up a KR9 which is as far as we know a perfect copy of the Vityaz/Saiga9 guns. Lots of the parts are standard AK parts. But the bolt, firing pin, recoil spring, and probably a few other moving parts are Vityaz pattern. The reason this is a problem is we don’t get those parts out of Russia currently. On the bright side we do seem to get aftermarket Russian magazines here.
I’m kind of an AK purist so I’d rather just have Russian imports open up but until then KUSA was filling a need. But obviously there has been a lot of problems with them as well.
